How many leap years will there be from 2000 to 3000 inclusive?

Leap years are any years evenly divisible by four, with two exceptions. So years like 2004 and 2008 are leap years.The two exceptions:Any "century" year evenly divisible by 100 is NOT a leap year, so 1900 was not a leap year and 2100 will not be a leap year, except:Any year number divisible by 400 IS a leap year, so 2000 was and 2400 will be leap years.Of the 1000 years between 2001 and 3000, there are 250 "divisible by 4" years, minus 10 "century" years plus 2 "divisible by 400" years (2400 and 2800) gives 242 leap years between 2001 and 3000. Add 2000, and there are 243 leap years between 2000 and 3000, inclusive.


Where do astronauts go?

The only place astronauts have been other than Earth, is on the Moon. Between 1969 and 1972 there were 6 moon landings. Nobody has gone to the Moon since then and nobody has gone to any other planets yet. Most astronauts now just orbit the Earth on one of the Space Shuttles or on the International Space Station or one of the other spacecraft that some countries have. It will be a long time before it will be possible to send astronauts to other planets.


How many Earth-like planets are there?

If by "like Earth" you mean habitable (that we could live on, without spacesuits, domes or other technological adaptations): there aren't any in our solar system, and none yet elsewhere that we know of. But scientists keep searching; the universe is a pretty big place, and odds are there are multiple other Earthlike planets out there somewhere.


Was 1933 the shortest year?

No, 1933 was not the shortest year. All calendar years have the same length of 365 days, or 366 days in a leap year. However, the perception of it being "short" might stem from significant historical events that occurred that year, such as the rise of Adolf Hitler in Germany and the end of Prohibition in the United States. But in terms of actual duration, it was like any other year.

How does the earth move when its leap year?

The Earth moves the same in a leap year as it does in any other year. We have leap years because Earth takes about 365.25 days to go around the sun, not 365 days, so a leap year makes up for that in order to keep our calendars correct.


How many leap years are there in 800 years?

A leap year is every 4 years and so 800/4 = 200... unless it includes a year that is exactly divisible by 100. In that case, an additional rule has to be applied. If a year is exactly divisible by 100 but not exactly divisible by 400, then it is NOT a leap year. If it is exactly divisible by 400 then it IS a leap year. 1700, 1800, and 1900 were NOT leap years. 2100, 2200, and 2300 will NOT be leap years. 1600, and 2000 were leap years. 2400 will be a leap year.... so if the 800 year span happens to include a year exactly divisible by 100 but not exactly divisible by 400 then there would only be 199 leap years.
